Did you really expect anyone to really "design" one, manufacture it and sell it for a price that makes sence for an old Subaru?
Whenever I hear these threads I just sit back and laugh![]()
I'd love it if it did but...Nothin's ever gonna happen!
Deal with it.

Hey mudrat79 made that front lsd. I would buy one. I am just saving up. I don't mind spending the money for what I love to do. Plus the dang cars run forever and you can always swap the parts into another 250$ beater when you kill one.
I am collecting as many cheap and free subes as possible that way I can always wheel my favorite cars

yes, Mudrat makes a front LSD, and subaru makes a rear LSD, we know about this, but, as said in the name, LSD's still Slip. noone makes a true locker, and most likely...never will.
IMHO, a front LSD is a waste of money, just rig up the parking brake cables to independant handles, and when it get's hairly, lock the spinning wheel. it's not as clean as posi-trac, but it's hella-cheap, and almost as effective!

I recieved a prompt reply from my email to powertrax (which is now owned by richmond gear) and I think they may be interested. If you want a locker for your suby now's your chance. Email the gentlemen and let him know you'd love to have a locker for your car. If we let them know there are crazy people who like flogging their cars offroad we could have a professionally built and manafactured locker to fill this untapped market. So lets all email MBolding@richmondgear.com and let him know we have money waiting for a locker. Here's a copy of our emails so far.

Subject: Why don't you make a locker for ....
Older subarus? Many people are picking up these cars for cheap and modifying them for off road use. The subaru set up has the car in front wheel drive on the street and locks the rear end in for 4x4. A rear lock rite would be totally unnoticed on the street but would totally transform the car off road. Owners are currently welding their rear diffs and pulling CVs for street use. Many owners would be overjoyed to install a rear lock-rite and save this hassle. As an added bonus the subaru rear diff is the same unit used in Datsun 510s. With one product you could be the sole supplier to 2 untapped enthusiast markets. Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information on the growing off road Subaru market, or if there's anything I can do to help you make a Subaru rear locker a reality.
Thanks

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT MARKET. I WILL COPY OUR DESIGN ENGINEER AND NATIONAL SALES MGR.THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN POWERTRAX.

for a while i was working on an idea of a collar for an axle to act as a locker...with a lincoln locked center chunk you could just disengage the axle....
kinda like a circular puzzle piece that could ride on bearings, and push together to engage, pull apart to disengage.
but, i digress, i too could not afford the machining of the pieces, etc..
these posts come out about every couple of years.......cheers, b
